    -A fan

  • Your stories are so needed in this crazy world that children are trying to adjust to daily.

    A new Grandmother

  • “Mama, read it again!”

    AJ, age 3

  • "Wow! This is a wonderful book for sharing one-on-one or with a class. I can picture using it as an extension to a Second Step lesson or a Morning Meeting check-in. I really love the balloon – it makes for a great discussion starter. I also really liked the additional synonyms at the end. I can picture older kids brainstorming their own."

    Wendy Offery, MLS

    School Library Media Specialist.

  • “This is every school counselor's dream book. And for a Title One school like mine, it is a powerful text to incorporate into a classroom reading for its rich vocabulary and expressive language! This is a book all elementary teachers would want in their classroom (especially at the beginning of the year) and it partners so well with programs like Responsive Classroom and Second Step.”

    -Jeanne Muzi

    Elementary School Principal

  • "I can definitely use this in my classroom! The illustrations are great so crisp and bright!"

    Julie Yi, First Grade Teacher

  • “A heartfelt story told by a loving grandmother and distinguished educator, Joan Ruddiman, EdD, who shares the journey of Noanie and PopPop as a way to encourage children to share their own big feelings about life's experiences. This book provides children with the freedom to create and showcase themselves using a selection of exciting activities and expanded vocabulary. Joan does a masterful job empowering students to be active participants in self-expression that vastly enhances vibrant and meaningful learning.”

    -Laurence R. Fieber

    Executive Director, Emeritus

    Jo Fiore, librarian

  • "A DARLING BOOK! Interesting how all the layers that are considered, especially the rise and fall of the balloon."

    Marilyn Roessler, retired educator

  • "Delightful story! I really like the connection of feelings and balloons. The deflated balloon when PopPop is sick is a great illustration."

    Kay Goerss, PhD, retired superintendent

  • LOVE the activities!

    Mom of two

  • I just got my book! It will be the hit of my book club with my retired teacher friends!
